City of New Prague - Subdivision & Development Guide

Welcome Welcome to the City of New Prague subdivision and development guide. Our goal is to assist you and to help make the development process as economical and efficient as possible for all concerned. T he enclosed information thoroughly outlines all requirements and procedures which must be followed closely. The Planning Department is the primary contact throughout the review and approval process and may be contacted at any time for assistance.

Growth Management Strategies Over the past few years, housing development has seen high growth and also a near stoppage within the community. A degree of control is needed to balance the City services with the demands that are being created. City staff has put forth significant effort in establishing guidelines which parallel the high expectations in environmental preservation and quality development. T hese guidelines are reflected in numerous sections of the City’s Comprehensive Plan which is periodically updated and Zoning Ordinance which is updated periodically, and the City’s Subdivision Ordinance which is updated periodically.

Development Process Subdivision and development within the City of New Prague is a three phase process which begins with submission of a sketch or concept plan and then progresses through preliminary and final plat approvals as the requirements of each stage have been met. The entire process is closely monitored to identify issues and solve any problems as they are realized as a means of reaching the best design and layout in the shortest feasible time frame. A pplications will be formally accepted or considered complete when all submission requirements have been met. The sketch or concept plan stage requires a meeting with City staff and also attending a Planning Commission meeting. The preliminary and final plat phases require submission of various information relative to the review and approval by necessary City departments and outside organizations. A separate application must be filed for both the preliminary and final plat process. The application forms are contained herein. A phase-specific checklist is enclosed to help you accomplish complete submittals and thereby avoid unnecessary delays. In cases where Planned Unit Developments or Conditional Use Permits or other special permits are necessary in addition to the standard subdivision, such requests can be handled simultaneously; however, the plat must meet development goals.

Background


Staff Meetings A meeting can be scheduled with staff to present a concept plan. The staff meetings enable us to review sketch plans and subdivision requirements prior to the completion of your detailed development plans. All information submitted by you will be reviewed and comments will be provided to you in a timely fashion. Lot size requirements, setbacks, street width, parking and other pertinent City standards will be discussed, although much of the information is also outlined within this packet.

Development Review Schedule Included herein is a development review schedule which will be used as a guideline for the review process. The time schedule provides normal processing time for documents submitted when required and in a complete manner. All documents and submittals must be made to the Planning Department, unless otherwise directed.

Required Fees Included herein is a copy of the City’s current fee schedule. There are not direct charges to you for time spent on initial meetings, or for the planning review process. There are direct charges for engineering and legal fees incurred by the City on behalf of your project. You will be billed directly for these charges. You can have a great impact on controlling these fees by submitting complete, accurate plans and related documents. The submittal of an application with your required signatures makes you responsible for all fees, charges and expenses which are incurred throughout the process.

Delinquent Accounts City approval of a subdivision, rezoning, conditional use permit, or variance shall be granted only if the applicant and any corporation, partnership, or joint venture in which the applicant has a twenty (20) percent or greater ownership interest:

• Has complied with all relevant statutory and ordinance requirements • Is not more than sixty (60) days delinquent in the payment of any fees, charges,

special assessments, and other debt or obligations due the City based upon prior applications for subdivision, rezoning, conditional use permit, or variance approval in the City or resulting development.

• Is in compliance with all ordinance requirements and conditions of approval regarding other City approvals which have been granted to the applicant for any matter.

Background


If an applicant for subdivision, rezoning, conditional use permit, or variance approval has a history with the City or any other city within the prior five (5) years of not promptly paying bills in conjunction with such land use applications, even though the applicant may not currently be delinquent, the City shall require an escrow in an amount to be determined by the City Administrator to guarantee payment of City bills for reviewing the application and inspecting the development. Only after special approval by the City Administrator may these requirements be waived, under the following circumstances:

• The applicant has provided sufficient safeguards to assure payment of debts or compliance with City requirements within a reasonable time after the City approval; or

• Enforcement of the requirements would result in a significant hardship to the applicant through no fault of the applicant or would result in an otherwise unfair situation.

Council, Boards, and Commission Meetings The City Council, Park Board, and Planning Commission meet on the following schedule. Y ou will be required to appear before the committees during the review process to discuss your development plans and obtain their recommendations which go directly to the City Council.

• The City Council meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. • The Planning Commission meets on t he 4th Wednesday of each month at 6:30

p.m. • The Park Board meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

The City Staff and Developer roles at the Planning Commission and City Council meetings vary from one another and each plays an important part in the presentation of the project, its review and ultimate recommendation/decision by these groups.

City Staff

• Forwards copies of staff reports and sketch(concept)/preliminary/final plat plans to Planning Commission and Council members in advance of the meeting.

• Makes a presentation on the proposed development. • Answers questions related to compliance with ordinance/policy requirements.

Developer

• Represents the proposed development and answers questions related to the project • Has technical staff (i.e.: engineer, surveyor, architect) available to answer

questions related to the proposed development

Exceptions may be granted by the Planning Department in writing. (C) Design standards. The minor subdivision must conform to all design standards as specified in Sections 060 through 069 of this chapter. Any proposed deviation from the design standards shall require the processing of a variance request. (D) Processing. (1) If the minor subdivision involves property which has been previously platted, or the property is greater than 10 acres in total area, the City Planner may administratively approve the application, provided that it complies with applicable provisions of this chapter. (2) In all other instances, the procedures for review and approval of plats set forth in this chapter must be followed, including approval by the City Council. (E) Filing. The City Planner shall be authorized to stamp and sign the deed or registered land survey as meeting the requirements of the city. The survey or deed shall be filed and recorded at the Office of the County Recorder within 30 days of approval.



Minor Subdivisions/ Lot Combinations Description

A minor subdivision or lot combination is a transfer of property that may be approved by city staff, without formal action by the City Council. Planning Staff must first be contacted concerning potential property splits or combinations before making an application.

The following information is intended to describe and outline the process for completing an administrative land split or combination:

1) Consult with Planning Staff – Contact the Planning Department to review the proposed split/combination. Planning staff will determine whether or not your proposal qualifies as administrative, and outline the review process and required application information. They will provide you with the necessary application, submittal checklist, and any required fee information. Additional items such as road/access issues and easements will be identified at this preliminary review.

2) Review with Scott County Taxation and Registrar of Titles – The Scott County Taxation Department

will review the involved parcels and their status to determine how the split/combination can occur. This includes reviewing parcel ownership, abstract or Torrens status, and tax district information. If a parcel is Torrens property the Registrar of Titles will determine if the split/combination needs to be completed through a Registered Land Survey (RLS). For abstract property a regular land survey will be required. Scott County Community Services staff will also review deed requirements, current and delinquent property taxes due, and recording fees.

3) Submit Application and Pay Required Application Fees – Once the required split/combination

information has been prepared the applicant submits the application, review fee, survey and any other information required by the City. The Planning Department will then review the information to determine whether it is complete, and then conduct its review to determine compliance with ordinance regulations. The City will then submit to the County Planning Staff for internal review (at Scott County only).

4) Legal Description is Forwarded to Scott County Surveyor’s Office – The Scott County Survey

Department will review the survey/RLS and proposed legal descriptions. Any necessary corrections will be discussed with the applicant and it will be required that their surveyor makes changes and resubmits. Once the survey/RLS and legal descriptions are acceptable, the County Surveyor will notify the City Planning Department so that they may then approve the minor subdivision/lot combination. This process would generally take between 2 -5 days.

5) Prepare Deeds – Upon approval by the Planning Department the applicant may then have deeds

prepared to record the split/combination. Scott County Taxation will review with the applicant the deed requirements, and it is strongly recommended that the applicant provide a draft copy of all proposed deeds and other documents for review before recording. Scott County Community Services staff will again review recording fees and property taxes due.



6) Record Documents – The applicant should have the deeds for recording stamped and signed by the City Planning Department before bringing them to Community Services. Once the documents are ready to be recorded, they should first be presented to the taxation department where taxation staff will assign new parcel numbers and delete old parcel numbers. Recording fees and current and delinquent property taxes must be paid at time of document recording.

7) Final Items – Customer Service staff processes fees and send documents to Land Records for recording.

The County Surveyor’s Office then updates parcel line-work to reflect the new property boundaries. * Zoning Authority approval of the minor subdivision/lot combination shall expire one (1) year from the

date of approval if the required property deeds and documents are not recorded within said timeframe.

Reasons parcels may not be able to be combined: 1) Parcels to be combined are not under common ownership. 2) Parcels are in different taxing districts.

Street Naming Process


(A) All street names shall be approved by the City Council and shall conform to an

established numbering and naming system based on t he City’s existing street names and quadrants of the City (i.e.: NW/SW/NE/SE).

(B) Proposed street names shall be substantially different so as not to be confused in sound or spelling with present names except that streets that join or are in alignment with streets of an abutting or neighboring subdivision shall bear the same name.

(C) No street shall change direction by more than 90 degrees without a change in the

street name.

(D) The subdivider shall install street name signs as required and approved by the Planning Department.

Park Land Dedication Requirements


(A) Intent and purpose. This section is adopted for the purpose of providing for the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the public through the orderly development of recreation areas and the conservation of natural resources and scenic beauty in the City of New Prague. It will also provide for a variety of activities within the park system, including various cultural and social activities, active and passive recreation and ensure that all areas of the city have equal access to parks and open space areas by providing for equal distribution of parks and open spaces throughout all sections of the city relative to user population densities. The city council finds that: (1) The preservation and development of parks, significant natural communities, features of significant historical interest, playgrounds, trails, and open space areas within the city are essential to maintaining a healthy and desirable environment for residents and persons employed within the city. The presence of parks, trails, and open space amenities also enhance the value and attractiveness of residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions to landowners, developers, purchasers, employers, and employees. The city must not only provide for its present citizens, but provide for the future. (2) New subdivisions place a burden upon the city’s parks and open space system. New facilities must be developed concurrently with development in order to provide the desired level of service and the quality of the environment for all. Therefore, new subdivisions shall be required to contribute toward the city’s park system in rough proportion to the relative burden that they will place upon the park system. (3) The city council recognizes that the need for such parks, trails, and public open spaces is directly related to the density and intensity of population and development permitted and allowed in the city. Urban development results in increased population, increased intensity of use, and greater demands for such public areas and facilities. (4) The city council recognizes that residential subdivisions create approximately 90 percent of the park/public land dedication need and commercial/industrial subdivisions create approximately 10 percent of this need. (5) Subdivision of land for schools and religious institutions may create additional demand on t he city’s park and recreational land and facilities. The city may enter into agreements with these organizations that foster cooperative use of property for recreational activities. (B) Land or Cash Dedication Required for Parks, Trails and Open Space. Minnesota Statute Section 462.358, subdivision 2b provides that municipal subdivision regulations may require that a reasonable portion of the buildable land of a proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public or preserved for public use as parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space, and that the municipality may



alternatively accept an equivalent amount in cash based upon t he average fair market value of the unplatted land for which park fees have not already been paid. (1) The form of contribution (cash, land, or any combination thereof) shall be decided by City Council based upon need and conformance with the comprehensive plan and the park plan therein. (2) The city council shall establish the administrative procedures deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this section. (C) Park Board Recommendation. For each subdivision, the Park Board shall, prior to the time that the Planning Commission completes its public hearings on t he preliminary plat, review the preliminary plat and recommend to the Planning Commission the total area and location of the land that should be dedicated within the subdivision for public use. These recommendations shall be based on the comprehensive plan. The Park Board shall forward these recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. In those instances where the Park Board concludes that a cash equivalency payment should be made by the subdivider in lieu of dedication of land, the Park Board shall recommend to the Planning Commission the percentage of the total park dedication requirement to be paid to the city in cash. In the event that review at a regular meeting of the Park Board would result in a delay in the review and approval process so that statutory time limitations may not be met, the requirement of review by the Park Board may be waived by the City Council at the time of its review of the application. (D) General Standards for determination.

(1) The Park Board shall develop and recommend to City Council for adoption general standards and guidelines for determining which portion of a subdivision should reasonably be required for public dedication. Such standards and guidelines may take into consideration the zoning classification to be assigned to the land to be subdivided, the particular use proposed for such land, amenities to be provided, and factors of density and site development as proposed by the subdivider.

(2) The Park Board shall develop and recommend standards for design and

construction of public parks, trails, and open space areas in the city.

(E) Dedicated land requirements.

(1) Any land to be dedicated as a requirement of this section shall be reasonably useable for one or more of the above public purposes for which it is acquired. Factors used in evaluating the utility of the area proposed to be dedicated shall include size, shape, topography, drainage, geology, tree cover, rare species and other significant wildlife habitats, access, and location.

(2) The required dedication or payment of fees in lieu of land dedication shall be

made at the time of final plat approval.



(F) Area of dedicated land. For all vacant platted residentially zoned lots where the

final plat was approved by the city prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, a park dedication fee equivalent to .25 pe rcent of the value of the new dwelling unit improvement shall be required to be paid to the City at the time of issuance of the building permit for the home. For all subdivisions occurring after the effective date of this Ordinance, the following required dedication or payment of fees in lieu of land dedication shall be applicable. Subdividers shall be required to dedicate to the city for use as parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails open space or areas of natural and environmental significance as the amount calculated as below or equivalent fair market value in cash in lieu as set out below:

(1) Residential Subdivisions. A residential subdivision’s proportional share is the product of (1) Per Capita Residential Share (established in the City’s Official Fee Schedule) and (2) the number of residents anticipated in the subdivision at full build out.

(2) Commercial and Industrial Subdivisions. A commercial or industrial

subdivision’s proportional share is the product of (1) Per Capita Commercial/Industrial Share (established in the City’s Official Fee Schedule) and (2) the number of employees expected in the subdivision at full build out.

(3) Mixed Use Subdivisions. A mixed use subdivision’s proportional share is the

sum of the proportional share for the residential portion plus the proportional share for the commercial or industrial portion.

(2) Cash in lieu. In no event shall the cash in lieu of land payment exceed 11.8 percent of the total buildable undeveloped fair market land value in the subdivision. (3) Schools and religious institutions. The amount to be dedicated shall be determined by City Council based on discussion with the school district or religious institution. Determinations shall be based on anticipated use of city park facilities by the school or religious institution, and any agreements for cooperative use of recreational facilities. Subdivision of land for school purposes creates an additional demand on the City’s park and recreational system to the extent that the school serves students who do not live within the city. (4) Determination of fair market value. To determine the fair market value of the unplatted land, the subdivider shall submit an appraisal at the time of preliminary plat application. The city will then obtain its own appraisal as a validation of the subdivider’s appraisal. If city staff and the subdivider are unable to agree on fair market value, the city council shall make the determination of fair market value. The subdivider shall bear all appraisal costs for both parties. The appraisers must be designated as an SRA, SRPA or MAI, or equivalent designation.



(5) Lands designated on parks, trails, and open space plan or comprehensive plan. Where a proposed park, playground, trail, or open space area indicated in the city’s parks, trails, and open space plan or comprehensive plan is located in whole or in part within a proposed subdivision, all or part of the proposed site shall be designated as such and should be dedicated to the city based on t he area of land dedication required by this chapter. (6) Deviation from required dedication. The dedication requirements based on t he subdivision’s proportional share of the city park system are presumptively appropriate. (7) Wetlands, ponding areas and floodplain. Existing wetlands and drainage ways dedicated to the city shall not be considered as part of the required park land or cash contribution to the city. (8) Existing Utility Easements. Land encumbered by a utility easement such as petroleum or electric power transmission lines shall not be considered as part of the required land dedication or cash contribution, except in instances where such easement is a standard platting requirement of the city or when the city determines that the land within the easement is useable for public purposes. (9) In the event that the subdivision’s proportional share cannot be determined due to the lack of an accompanying development proposal, the subdivider shall dedicate land to the public or cash equivalent equaling the lesser of: (a) 11.8 percent of the unplatted buildable land value, less any applicable credits if residential, or, (b) t he maximum possible proportional share for the subdivision under the applicable zoning district’s future land use plan designation by the comprehensive plan, less any applicable credits. (10) Previously subdivided property from which park dedication has been received that is being re-subdivided with the same number of lots is exempt from park dedication requirements. If the number of lots is increased, the park dedication requirement shall only apply to the additional lots.

(G) Land dedication/payment of fees.

(1) Land dedication. When land is to be dedicated to satisfy the park dedication requirement, separate lots or outlots shall be indicated on the plat drawings for the area to be dedicated. Such lots or outlots shall be dedicated or deeded to the city prior to the issuance of any building permits within the subdivision. The subdivider shall be responsible for finishing the grading, installing the ground cover, and the construction of trails on all land to be dedicated to the city. No credit toward the required park dedication shall be given for this work, except that a credit for the cost of improvements to trails included in the city’s trail plan may be given.



(2) Cash fee. In the event that a cash fee is to be paid in lieu of land dedication,

the payment of such fee shall be required as follows:

(a) The fee shall be paid prior to the city’s release of the signed final plat mylars for recording with the county. The amount of any required cash contribution shall be calculated based on the rates established by the city and in effect as of the date of the release of the final plat for filing.

(b) In plats that include outlots for future development, the subdivider

may pay to the city the subdivision’s proportional share for the entire subdivision, including the outlots; or the subdivision’s proportional share excluding such outlots, providing that the park dedication requirement will be satisfied when such outlots are re-platted. At that time, the amount of any required cash contribution shall be calculated based on the rates established by the city and in effect as of the date of the release of the final plat for filing.

(H) Park fund. (1) Purpose. Cash payments received from subdividers in lieu of land

dedications shall be deposited by the city into a separate fund to be used only for the purposes for which the cash was obtained, including acquisition of land, the development of existing public sites or for debt retirement in connection with land previously acquired. The City Council shall establish separate budgeting and accounting procedures to oversee said fund.

(2) Annual financial report. Each year the Park Board shall present to the City

Council, in such detail as City Council shall require, its estimate of the financial needs of the Park Board for the ensuring fiscal year.

(3) Gifts and donations. The Park Board is authorized to receive gifts, devises,

bequests, endowments, or other donations of money and property on behalf of the city. All monies received shall be deposited in the park fund. (I) Park Boundary Markers. (1) Where park land which abuts adjacent platted property, excluding right-of-way and other public lands, the subdivider shall install permanent boundary stakes at every other lot corner which clearly identifies the area as public park property.

Sidewalks & Multi-Purpose Trailways

A street which intersects or crosses a r ailroad shall have a r ight-of-way of sufficient width to permit construction of a grade-separated crossing. **A sidewalk is required on a t least one side of all public streets, except as otherwise noted in Section 068 of this chapter. Concrete sidewalks of not less than five feet in width shall be provided on at least one side of each street, except for cul-de-sacs in instances where the sidewalk would not provide a connection to an adjacent trail, park or open space area. Where a proposed subdivision abuts or includes an arterial street, sidewalks of not less than six feet in width shall be provided on both sides of the street, unless a trail is included on one side of the street as designated by the comprehensive plan. In such case, the trail must be located on one side of the street and a sidewalk on t he other. All sidewalks and trails must be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

S uch lines, conduits or cables must be placed within easements or dedicated public ways in a manner that will not conflict with other underground services. Transformer boxes must be located so as not to be hazardous to the public and must be out of sight triangles at intersections of roadways. T he City Council may waive the requirements of underground services as set forth in this section if, after study and recommendation by the Planning Commission, it is established that such underground utilities would not be compatible with the planned development or unusual topography, soil or other physical conditions that would make underground installation unreasonable or impractical.

Section IV Engineering Requirements


Design Standards


Below are some, but not all, the design standards provided for in full in the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. Please refer to the subdivision ordinance for all requirements. § 060 CONFORMANCE TO DESIGN STANDARDS. All subdivisions must conform to the design standards set forth in this chapter, except in cases of changes permitted in a planned unit development, by the City Council approval of a variance, or by specific exceptions designated by this chapter. § 061 MONUMENTS.

(4) Features. In the subdividing of land, due regard shall be shown for all natural features, such as tree growth, watercourses, bluffs, historic sites or similar

Design Standards


conditions which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed subdivision. (5) Frontage/access. E very lot must have the minimum frontage on a city approved public or private street other than an alley, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, except where permitted under a planned unit development. (6) Lot boundaries. No lot shall be divided by a boundary line between registered land and abstract property. (7) Lot corners at street intersections. Curbs at street intersections shall be in accordance with § 067(E)(1). (8) Lot line angles. Side lot lines shall be straight lines running within 20 degrees of perpendicular to the road upon which the lots front. Side lot lines on curved roads should run at or near radially to the curve. (9) Lot pads. The top of the foundation and the garage floor of all structures shall at minimum provide for a two percent slope towards the street surface. Exceptions to this standard may be approved by the City Engineer for special circumstances such as increased setback, site topography, flooding potential, septic system operation and the like, provided that proper site and area drainage is maintained and the elevation of the structure is in keeping with the character of the area. (10) Lot remnants. A ll remnants of lots below minimum size left over after subdividing of a larger tract must be added to adjacent lots, rather than being permitted to remain as unusable parcels., unless they are platted as outlots to be added to an adjacent future development site. (11) Re-subdivision of lots. When a tract is subdivided into larger than normal building lots or parcels, such lots or parcels shall be so arranged as to permit the logical location and openings of future streets and appropriate re-subdivision, with provision for adequate utility connections for such re-subdivision. (12) Setback lines. On the preliminary plat, setback or building lines shall be shown on a ll lots intended for residential use and shall not be less than the setback required by the Zoning Ordinance, as may be amended. (13) Turn-around access. W here proposed residential lots abut an arterial or collector street, they should be platted in such a manner as to encourage turn-around access and egress on each lot. (14) Watercourses. Lots abutting a watercourse, wetland, ponding area or stream shall have additional depth and width to meet all applicable buffers and setback requirements as required under the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.

Design Standards


(B) Block standards. All blocks shall be designed to meet the following minimum standards: (1) Block access. Paved pedestrian ways or bicycle trails that are 10 feet in width may be required between streets paralleling a block if pedestrian access to schools or other areas of pedestrian destination is deemed desirable by the Planning Commission and City Council. (2) Arrangement.

(3) Block length. In general, intersecting streets in determining block lengths, shall be provided as such intervals so as to serve cross-traffic adequately and to meet existing streets. Where no existing plats control, blocks in residential subdivisions should not exceed 1200 f eet in length nor be less than 400 f eet in length, except where topography or other conditions may justify a departure from these requirements. In blocks longer than 800 f eet, pedestrian ways or easements through the block may be required near the center of the block to provide for alternate means of pedestrian ingress and egress. (4) Block shape. Blocks shall be shaped so that all blocks fit readily into the overall plan of the subdivision and their design must evidence consideration of lot planning, traffic flow and public open space areas. (5) Block use. Blocks intended for commercial, institutional and industrial use must be designated as such and the plan must show adequate off-street areas to provide for parking, loading docks and such other facilities that may be required to accommodate motor vehicles. § 067 EASEMENTS. (A) Drainage. W here a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, there shall be provided a drainage way, channel, outlot, or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such watercourse, together with such further width of construction of both, as will be adequate for storm water run off. All drainage easements shall be identified on the plat and shall be graded and sodded in accordance with Section 73 of this chapter. Twenty foot wide easements for drainage purposes must be centered on rear and front lot lines. T en foot wide easements for drainage purposes must be centered on s ide lot lines, unless the side lot line abuts a public right-of-way, in which case it must be 20 feet in width. (B) Public trails/walkways. In addition to other required open space, easements to provide connections to public trails will be required where shown on the comprehensive plan. Twenty foot wide pedestrian easements shall be required where deemed essential to

Design Standards


provide circulation, or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation and other community facilities. (C) Utilities. Twenty foot wide utility easements must be centered on rear and front lot lines. Ten foot wide utility easements must be centered on side lot lines, unless the side lot line abuts a public right-of-way where the easement must be 20 feet wide. Utility easements shall have continuity of alignment from block to block, unless infrastructure deems larger easements necessary. At deflection points, utility easements for pole-line anchors shall be provided where necessary. § 068 LANDSCAPING AND WALKWAYS. (A) Planting, gateways, entrances. The type and spacing of trees to be planted on public property shall be determined by the City Council. N o planting of trees or vegetation, installation of gateways or entrances or similar improvements shall be made on public property except with permission and approval of the City Council. T his requirement includes boulevard trees, if permitted. (B) Treatment Along Arterial and Collector Streets. When a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial or collector street, the City Council may require screen planting contained along the rear property line of residential lots for the adequate protection of residential properties from the effect of the adjacent roadways. (C) Sidewalks/pedestrian ways. C oncrete sidewalks of not less than five feet in width shall be provided on a t least one side of each street, except for cul-de-sacs in instances where the sidewalk would not provide a connection to an adjacent trail, park or open space area. W here a proposed subdivision abuts or includes an arterial street, sidewalks of not less than six feet in width shall be provided on both sides of the street, unless a trail is included on one side of the street as designated by the comprehensive plan. In such case, the trail must be located on one side of the street and a sidewalk on the other. All sidewalks and trails must be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. (D) Sodding. O ne row of good quality weed-free sod must be installed along boulevards adjacent to the curb. If a sidewalk is located in the front of the lot, the subdivider is responsible for sodding the boulevard between the sidewalk and the curb before a certificate of occupancy will be issued. All drainage swales must be graded and the turf established with a good quality sod approved by the Public Works Director or his or her designated representative. (See Section 736 of the Zoning Ordinance) (E) Trees. Requirements for trees on individual lots shall meet the provisions listed in Section 736 of the Zoning Ordinance. Pre-development trees with a diameter of eight inches or more as measured three feet above the base of the trunk shall not be removed unless such tree is within the right-of-way of a street as shown on the final plat.

Please be advised that failure to provide all required information will delay your permit review and approval. Once a building permit has been issued, work must begin on the project within 180 days, or the permit will become void. In the event that some delay may cause a period greater than 180 days after issuance of a permit for construction to start, the Building Deparment should be notified. Also, please note that the permit may be suspended or revoked if it is found to be issued in error, or on the basis of incorrect information submitted as part of the building permit application.

Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning permits are issued by the Building Department. Additions, alterations, or repairs to existing dwellings, as related to plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems may be performed by the homeowner. All work of a commercial/industrial nature requires licensed contractors to perform the installations. Sewer and Water Connections Before a contractor connects a building to the public sewer and water system, a permit must be obtained and applicable connection fees paid. All sewer and water permits must be applied for and hook ups made by a licensed Master Plumber or his representative. Electrical All electrical permits obtained for work to be performed within New Prague are issued by the State Electrical Board; address 1821 University Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55104. Telephone number is 651-642-0800. The electrical inspector assigned to the New Prague area is Randy J. Edel of Edel Inspections LLC. Inspection requests can be arranged by calling Mr. Edel between 7:00 and 8:30 AM, Monday through Friday, at 507-334-3748. Accessory Buildings, Swimming Pools, Decks, and Signs In addition to a completed building permit application form, the applicant should submit a plot plan and necessary construction drawings needed for plan review. For assistance to homeowners and contractors, there are public information handouts available from the Planning and Building Departments for these improvements. Sign permits are applied for and issued through the Planning Department. Completion of a sign permit application is required. Along with an application, the installer must submit plans showing location, specifications, methods of construction, and attachment to the building or ground placement method. Plan Review Procedures for Building Permits The building permit application, plans, specifications, computations, and other required data filed by the applicant are reviewed by the Building Official and Planning Department for compliance with the applicable building codes. For commercial, industrial, and multi-family buildings, construction plans are also reviewed by the City Engineer, and Planning Department. The Planning Department reviews the project plans to verify compliance with zoning requirements pertaining to landscaping, parking, setbacks, and the aesthetic quality of the project. The City Engineer ascertains that proper erosion control, drainage, grading, and traffic access is provided for the site. A review is done by the Building Official to ensure



that the proposed plans and specifications are consistent with the Fire Code. Deficiencies noted during the plan review procedure are outlined in a formal plan review letter from the Building Official to the project engineer, contractor, and/or owner. The deficiencies noted in the plan review must be addressed by the architect or project engineer before the building permit will be issued. Preliminary design meetings attended by design professionals and the Building Official are encouraged in an effort to mitigate any code related requirements. Building Permit Fees Fee are established annually (and as amended) on the City’s Official Fee Schedule which is adopted by the City Council. Inspections All construction work for which a permit is required shall be subject to inspections by the Building Official, and shall be based on the required schedule from the Minnesota State Building Code which includes:

A. Foundation inspections. B. Structural/framing inspections. C. Energy inspections. D. Mechanical/plumbing, heating, and ventilation rough-in and final inspections. E. Final inspections.

In addition to the called inspections specified above, the Building Official may make or require other inspections of construction work to ascertain compliance with the provisions of the code and ordinances enforced by the City of New Prague. It shall be the duty of the person doing the work authorized by a permit to notify the Building Official that such work is ready for inspection. Certificate of Occupancy With the exception of farm buildings, a Certificate of Occupancy is required for all buildings constructed or moved into the City of New Prague. A Certificate of Occupancy is issued after the final inspection is made and approved by the inspection staff. Under no circumstances should a building or structure be occupied prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Questions Regarding Construction Projects The information provided in this section has been of a general nature. Specific questions pertaining to construction projects such as building code requirements, zoning regulations, permit charges, review procedures, and required inspections can be answered by calling the Building and Planning Departments at 952-758-4401 or by visiting City Hall.
